PREFACE 


‘N response to a request for information concerning this 
_- ~-# Collection Mr. Graves sent the following characteristic 
__ personal notes: 


“TI think I must have been born a collector. My earliest 

recollections are of gathering, with my nurse, every form of 

— ~——sbeautiful flower that attracted my childish notice in my walks; 

j alittle later, I gathered all the round pebbles of pleasing colors, 

then all the rare plants and flowers known in New England. 

Having learned to stuff and mount birds, I made a large 

collection of the birds known to New England. Afterward 

Ei I discovered, in the valley of the Connecticut, in the town of 

i: Montague, some beautiful examples of fossilized ferns and 

i plants as they were caught and pressed in the slate formation. 

These I presented to the Professor of Natural History in the 

University of Frederickion, N. B. During this time I also 

made a large collection of the curious so-called clay stones 

found along the clay beds of the Connecticut River. Having 

ascertained that the native Indians of the Bannock Tribe of 

Northern Idaho possessed a sense of artistic decoration, I made 

a special journey there and secured all the examples of such 

i work I could find. These were intaglios cut on the teeth of 

the grizzly bear, the wolf and the elk, and tips of the antelope’s 

| horn. This collection 1s now in the Peabody Institute at 
kg Harvard University. 

During the almost fifty years in which I have been gathering 
my Art Collections, I may mention a small group of rare 
old Chinese Snuff Bottles, now in the possession of the artist, 
Mr. Thomas Allen, of Boston; also, a rare collection of 
Napoleonic miniatures and historic pieces pertaining to that 
period, now in the possession of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, of 
Washington, D.C. When some of our leading men in Boston, 
in the Spring of 1883, connected with the Charitable Mechanics 
Association, formed a plan of having a Foreign Fair in 
this city, at their urgent request I consented to act as their 
Commissioner in Chief. The Fair was held during the 
Autumn of 1883 and the Winter of 1884. I had the pleasure 


of securing and bringing out all the exhibits from Russia, 
1] 


s 


Persia, Central Asia, and Japan. A Chinese collects 
secured also through my efforts and brought over by tu 
Mandarin collectors and placed on exhibition. The ¢ 
acquaintance thus gained with men and methods was . 
quently employed by me in securing the Objects which form 
large part of this collection.” 


Mr. Graves has always been primarily a collector. In his 
quest he has travelled the world over, visiting China, Japan, 
Java, India and most European countries, personally 
gathering his treasures and establishing connections for future . 
acquisitions. In gathering so varied a Collection, during so a 
many years, he found it necessary to discard many Objects 
already acquired and substitute better examples. This brought i 
him within the domain of a dealer and to a portion of the 
community of Boston he was known only as a dealer; but 
back of his business and always as the chief aim of his pur- 
chases was the Collection of Art Objects which, by the process 
of elimination and substitution, became more and more valu- 
able with the passing years. Descended from one of the oldest 
Massachusetts families he has enjoyed the companionship of 
the leading scientific and literary men of the State during his 
time; many of these are gone and now in his eighties he finds 
it advisable to disperse the numerous objects which he found 
such pleasure in assembling. 


The Paintings - 


The Collection is varied and represents wide catholicity of 
taste. Of early Italian art, a very remarkable Triptych for a 
domestic altar is the work of Mantegna, and shows the marked 
characteristics of that Artist. It came with several other 
early Italian works from the Collection of Count Guglielmi, 
of Lucca. There is also a brilliant small composition repre- 
senting “The Adoration of the Magi” which has been attributed 
to Tintoretto. An interesting early example of Murillo shows 
him both as a figure and a flower painter, the field in which he 
first achieved renown. It came from an old family in Seville 
and bears the signature of the Artist. 

A portrait by Albrecht Durer, of Hans Imhoff, friend of the 
Artist, will attract attention. It is a variation of the same 
subject in the Prado. It is said that the Artist painted two 
portraits of his patron Imhoff—the first, which is the one in 
the Prado, proving unsatisfactory, was followed soon after by 


12 


xe smaller portrait in this Collection. Its history is traceable 
back almost a century when it belonged to that renowned con- 
-noisseur, Cardinal Fesch, uncle of Napoleon, and was sold in 
his collection in 1848 to a nobleman of Genoa. Upon his death 
some years ago it was purchased from his widow by Mr. Graves. 
It is painted with extraordinary care and bears the monogram 
signature and date of 1521. A few years ago Dr. Erno de 
Kovecs, a renowned collector and connoisseur, of Budapest, 
made a trip to Boston to see the picture and pronounced it one 
of the finest examples of Durer in existence. 

Among the English painters of the XVIIIth Century are 
examples of Raeburn, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Morland, Har- 
low, Lawrence, and Opie. Raeburn is represented by an 
attractive portrait of Sir Walter Scott, when twenty-six years 
of age. Raeburn and Scott were friends and the artist painted 
the poet a number of times, the present one before Scott had 
won great fame. Of Reynolds there is a portrait of the famous 
Kittie Fisher. It is a matter of record that Reynolds painted 
this beautiful woman a half dozen times with variations. The 
pant example differs considerably from the one in the New 

ork Public Library and is in a fine state of preservation. It 
came from the Collection of the Countess of Jersey, and with 
several other pictures was bought directly from her executor. 
The Lawrence is a beautiful portrait of the Hon. Mrs. Ashley, 
who was the widow of the painter Opie; in another small 
picture in this Collection, painted by Opie, this lady is shown 
with her husband and children. Of the two Harlows one 
shows Lady Fairlee and Child, a very attractive group; and 
the other the Hon. J. Ayton. There are five examples of 
Morland representing him in different phases of his art includ- 
ing a portrait of himself; these with the Harlows, Raeburn, and 
several others, came from a distinguished Scotch collector 
many years ago. 

Two portraits are attributed to Van Dyck while the names 
of Gerard Honthorst, Zuccarelli, Ghisolfi, Rosa di Tivoi, 
and others show the diversity of the whole. 


Chinese Porcelains 


The Oriental Porcelains include examples from those periods 
when the art was at its best and embrace decorated Vases in 
five colors, blue and white and solid colors. There are also 
a large number of Snuff Bottles of infinite variety. 


13 


- Jades and Crystals ees nee 


Of these there are nearly 100 pieces, including a remarkab 


Temple Screen with the eight Immortals, also a number of 
elaborately carved Vases, Wands, Cups, Koros, and ornamental Bays. 
objects. There is a set of eight Sacrificial Bowls of green jade of 


unusually large size used by the Emperors in worship. Also 
a large Jade Bowl of a brilliant emerald green color, 12% inches 
in diameter, a set of Wine Cups and Tray, and a remarkable 
piece of Carnelian red jade or chalcedony with transparent 
Celadon like a coating of thin ice, which came from the famous 
Li Hung Chang. A tall Vase of pink crystal will also attract 
the attention of visitors. 


Incense Boxes, Elephants, and Tusks 


A set of six Chinese Incense Boxes are of unusual interest. 
They were kept in the Temple of Heaven and held the sacred 
incense used in ancestral worship. They carry double inscrip- 
tions, one on the inside of the cover and one on the bottom of 
each box showing they were given by Prince Ei-ye, son of the 
Emperor Kang-si, for the Temple service. The boxes are of 
sandalwood and ivory decorated with jade and other stones. 

There is a group of three White Elephants in soft paste 
porcelain, one bearing a black obsidian ball in a houdah on 
his back. With them is contrasted a Black Ebony Elephant 
of Indian workmanship, caparisoned with semi-precious stones 
and bearing on his back a large white crystal ball. 

A set of three Ivory Tusks will command attention not only 
for their size but for the elaborate workmanship shown in 
their carved surfaces. One is the Tusk of a mammoth from 
Siberia; the other two are Tusks of East Indian Elephants. 
They are covered with carvings of an historical character and — 
inlaid with gold, silver, and semi-precious stones; full records 
are carved on each piece. At the time of the Samurai rebellion 
they were presented to Mr. Doyle, U. S. Consul at Osaka 
through gratitude for the assistance rendered by the United 


States Marines from the warship in the harbor, and were pur- 
chased from him in 1873 by Mr. Graves. 


Bronzes, Lacquers, and Swords 


The collection of Chinese Bronzes includes a number of 
pieces known as “‘Snow and Rain from Heaven”—an effect 
produced by a famous Bronze worker who had learned that the 


14 


ee of heat necessary to melt and flux his bronze would not 
elt gold, so he threw gold nuggets into the molten bronze and _ 


then cast and worked his piece. A large Koro with cover and 
_ stand of this bronze filled with gold nuggets is a masterpiece 


of its kind. 

The Lacquers, though not numerous, are of the finest quality 
and mention may be made of the boxes of Soo Chow Lacquer 
for their fine color and the depth of the carving. 

The Swords, about fifty in number, include many historical 


pieces of wonderful interest like the sword of Schamyl the hero 


of the Caucasus; there are several knee-splitters, short swords, 
surgeon’s and barber’s swords, a number of dress swords bear- 


_ ing the crests of noblemen, as well as a Shogun’s sword. All 
of these show the exquisite gold and silver mountings and 


inlay decorations in which the Japanese are such remarkable 
workmen. The collection includes the finest examples obtain- 
able of many of the most famous Sword-makers of Japan 
from the year 1000 to 1800 A. D. 


Embroideries and Satsuma 


The Oriental Embroideries, Robes, and Hangings are clean 
and fine, and there is also a small group of Satsuma ware. One 
piece may be mentioned in particular as a masterpiece of 
Satsuma relief work. It represents a rock grotto overgrown 
with vines, mosses, and lichens fashioned with great fidelity 
to Nature. Within the grotto seated at table are two daimios of 
Satsuma playing their national game of “Go.” ‘This piece 
was made in 1825 by Nori-Nobu Takeda and was regarded by 
Japanese experts as a masterpiece of Satsuma relief work. 


European Art Objects 


Artistic craftsmanship of high order will be found in several 
pieces of Italian Metal Work of the XVIth Century. There is 
a large Shield inlaid with gold and silver in a renaissance pat- 
tern which came from the Orsini family. It is of great value 
and worthy a place in any Museum. An Iron and Silver Jewel 
Box is also a noteworthy piece. It shows medallions of classical 
and mythological subjects in high relief with other figures in 
the round, all finely chiseled. An Incense Box of Iron inlaid 
with Gold also speaks of that past age when workmen were 
artists. 


15 


= 


Craftsmanship of a remarkable kind will be found also 
Cabinet covered with leather and ornamented with fine 
tooling, the interior being decorated with plates of silver orna 
mented in relief. It came from the Ruspoli family and, 1 
quality, is a Museum piece. en 

A couple of sets of old Persian Armor will be found inter- _ 
esting because of the fine workmanship, showing inscriptions of 
gold inlaid on the steel. They came from Constantinople. 

There are some fine old Italian Majolicas including a Bust of 
heroic size of Galeazzo Visconti in armor, which is a superb 
Museum piece. A remarkable garniture of five pieces, in the — 
well-known yellow and blue, with medallion portraits, will 
attract attention, as will a number of minor objects of Metal 
and Pottery. 


Antique Busts 


Among the unusual objects seldom met with in any Collection 
are three genuine Antique Busts of great interest and value. 
One of Caesar Germanicus is of heroic size, the bronze head set 
in a marble bust representing ancient armor. This wasexhumed 
in the Island of Cypress in 1897, and was found about six feet 
below the surface. The embargo placed by the Italian Govern- 
ment on the exportation of Antiques was such that this piece 
was brought out as one of the casks in a cargo of Wine and so 
passed until it arrived in Boston when its true character was 
revealed. Another Bust is that of a Roman matron in which 
a bronze head is set on shoulders of marble and alabaster. This 
was taken from the mud of the Tiber, in Rome. A still more 
remarkable work is that of Hermes, which some have attributed 
to Praxiteles since it bears a remarkable resemblance to the head | 
of Hermes unearthed at Olympus a few years ago. This was 
exhumed at Carthage in 1895. All of these were acquired at_ 
the time by Mr. Graves and passed through no other hands. 


Antique Gems 


There is an extraordinary collection of Antique Intaglios of 
classical and mythological subjects, nearly all of which were 
purchased directly from the famous Duke of Hamilton Col- 
lection and believed to be rivalled only by the Collection in the 
British Museum. These cover the best period of Greek and 
Roman workmanship. Many have been set as rings, pins, and 
pendants in later times, while many more retain the original 
settings. 


16 


_ Supplementing this is the largest known collection of Tassie 
_ gems, the next in importance being that owned by the British 
Crown and preserved in Cambridge house, London. These 
gems are reproductions in intaglio after the antique. They 
were made by the brothers William and James Tassie, of Glas- 
gow, Scotland, who received important orders from various 
_ crowned heads and who employed Flaxman and other cele- 
brated sculptors in their work. 


Miniatures, Enamels, and Snuff Boxes 


The Miniatures include French and English work among 
which will be found examples signed by Malbone, Cosway, 
Oudin, Charlier, David, Vigee Le Brun, and Brunier. Many 
of these came from the Duchess of Orleans Collection. 

With the Miniatures will be found a few Court Snuff Boxes 
of ivory and gold of fine quality. A notable example is one 
encrusted with rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls. 

There are also some old Enamels. Mention may also be 
made of some Porcelains from Meissen, and Capo-di-Monte, a 
number of pieces of old Lace, and some Oriental Rugs. 


European and East Indian Jewelry 


The great collection of Jewels will attract the widest attention. 
While living in Paris in 1861 Mr. Graves began collecting Jewels 
and has continued to do so ever since. During this long period 
he has acquired many pieces of great value and special interest. 
There are examples of East Indian workmanship, gorgeous in 
color and marvelous in workmanship; Snake Necklaces and 
Armlets dating from the time of Serpent Worship taken from 
idols and kissed smooth by devotees; Rajah Rings, Naulakas, 
and some wonderful Oriental emeralds set in the antique fashion 
of East Indian workers. Necklaces of the Louis XVIth period, 
and Bracelets, Rings, Armlets, and Anklets enclosing gems of 
great brilliancy and beauty. 

For the benefit of those purchasing Jewels it may be well to 
call attention to a few facts not generally known. Of all 
precious and semi-precious stones only two are simple in con- 
stitution, each being formed of only one substance, namely 
the Diamond which is the crystal of pure carbon, and the Ruby 
and Sapphire, which are the crystals of pure alumina. The 


17 


Ruby and Sapphire are practically the same gem, as ie differ 


only in color. All other stones, both precious and semi-precious, 
are composite in nature, being formed of various pr 
blended together. Ruby, meaning “‘red” or ‘‘to make red” 
India, the home of these gems, all alumina crystals have: : 
red color are called rubies, from the faintest pink tint to those 
which are so deep in color as to be almost opaque. The sap- 
phires range in color from the pure white or colorless through 
all the shades of blue, yellow, and green. If in the green 
sapphire flakes of brilliant red are seen in certain lights, it 
forms what is known as the green ruby, a very rare gem. 
fine example of this may be seen as the centre in a three-stone 
and Diamond Ring No. 303. In some cases two or more 
colors are blended in the same stone, giving an opalescent effect. 
A rare example of this is seen in Ring, No. 280, where yellow 
and blue are united. The stone is surrounded by a cluster of 
Oriental pearls of the same color as the yellow in the BR 
A very remarkable illustration of the different colors of 
Ruby and Sapphire may be seen in the Naulaka, No. 277, 
where the band of the necklace or head is filled with very large 
fancy sapphires, all being of different colors, and in the Bracelet 
or Armlet, No. 278, set with the same gems, with the exception 
of the centre stone, which is an Alexandrite. In the Star Ruby 
and Star Sapphire, which are practically the crystals of pure 
alumina, it is believed that minute filaments of asbestos were 
floating in the liquid out of which the crystal was formed and 
that these filaments produced the star effect as seen in the 
stone. The same is true of the peculiar lines of light in the gem 
Catseye, but the most critical analysis reveals nothing more 
than the pure alumina of the crystal. 

Every piece of Jewelry in this Collection has been submitted 
to the highest expert knowledge and is correctly described in 
these pages. The genuineness of all Precious Stones and Metals 
is guaranteed by the owner and by the Company.

These terms employed in China are derived from the 
fact that a famous bronze worker, living in the 
Hsuen-Te period, had learned that the degree of heat 
which would melt and flux his bronze, would not melt 
gold, so he threw gold nuggets making “Snow from 
Heaven,” and shot gold, making “Rain from Heaven,” 
into the melted bronze, then cast and worked his 
pieces. All these pieces bear the full Hsuen-Te 
marks.

_ Carved Jades, Crystals and Amber 


There are three forms of Jade, designated as such by the 
Chinese, without regard to the color or the mineral formation, 
namely: Jade of the variety of Horn Blend, Jadeite, a variety 
of aluminum with sodium, and actinolite—a form of precious 
serpentine. These different stones were practically alike in 
hardness and in difficulty of carving and manipulation; all 
were specified by the Chinese at all times, and are to-day, as 
Jade. They occur in different colors, and examples of each 
of these different forms of mineral are found in this collection. 

The specimens of whitish Jade, known as fat Jade, with 
here and there spots of brilliant emerald green, (fet-sui), be- 
longed especially to the Emperor, and such Jade was and is 
known as the Imperial Jade; and if a Chinaman secured, in any 
way, such a piece of Jade, he was bound, by the laws of the 
Empire, to pass over such specimen to the nearest government 
official, so that it could be forwarded at once to the Emperor 
at Pekin. In case he failed to do this, the fact of its being in 
his possession (if known) would cause him to lose his head. 

The carving of Jade by the Chinese was done at a very 
remote period, and the difficulty attending such work rendered 
it, in their eyes, of supreme value and of inestimable worth. 
That it was done by the Chinese in very remote times there is 
ample proof. 

A Jade Bowl, greenish in tone, beautifully carved, about 
5 inches in diameter, 314 inches deep, in every way perfect, was 
taken out with a mummy from a tomb in Egypt where it has 
been over 2,500 years ; and yet this bowl was so perfectly pre- 
served that it might have been done within the last ten years. 

Jade is of very many colors—dull green, bright emerald 
green, dead white, fat (known as fat jade), cabbage green or 
celadon green, dull white, dull brown, reddish brown and 
cherry red like the red of the red coral.

addition to the above, in separate cases, not in this

FOQ* far the most important collection of these gems in 
existence. The next collection in importance is that

of Art in Glasgow, Scotland. They received im-

others, from the Empress Catherine Second of Rus- 
sia. Flaxman, who did the medallion portraits for 
Wedgwood, was one of their pupils.
